G                                      C            G
Oh, tell me will you, darling Why you look so bad tonight
         C                 G                D               G
You got bags around your eyeballs That are red instead of white
G
Well, let me put it this way, you came, I was alone
                     D                     G
Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation
                                               D
You smiled a leering me on, my heart is plumb gone 
                   G
Cause you was temptation 
          G
It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing 
           D
But if it never can be then a pity for me
     G
For you was too bored to be kissed 
                                     F                G
I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
        G                         C               G 
As the apple tempted Adam As the serpent tempted Eve
        C                        G                D                    G
As the willow tree tempts the caterpillar, baby That’s how you tempted me
        G                                   C                 G
As the corn liquor tempts the drunkard As sorghum tempts the bee
        C                      G
As the mud hole tempts the mosquito, baby
D                       G      
That’s how you tempted me For you came and I was alone
                    D                      G
Shucks, I should a knowed that you was temptation (A ring-a-ding-ding-ding)
      G                                       D                    G
You smiled a leering me on my heart is plumb gone  For you was temptation 
            G            
It’ll be thrilling if you’re willing 
           D
But if it never can be then a pity for me
     G
For you was too bored to be kissed 
                                     F                 G
I couldn’t resist cause you was temptation and I was yours
         G 
Here is my heart Take it away, oh take it away
                                     C
Say that we will never, never, never part
           Bb                       D                       G             
I’m just a slave, just a dad burn slave I’m a going to wed you
                C                        Bb
For you’re temptation and I’m a red hot flame
                                    Bb
